# NetViewer ™ vs UniCam

The clearest difference is rating: UniCam at 4.5 against NetViewer ™'s 2.5. UniCam also leads on review sentiment (33% vs 0%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). NetViewer ™'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 13) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. UniCam sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. NetViewer ™ asks for nothing beyond the download.

UniCam holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: UniCam has 50 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of NetViewer ™'s written reviews are positive against 33% of UniCam's.

NetViewer ™ ships an update every 5 months, UniCam fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
